Spikes got caught in the dirt…got him first on the thigh. Grazed him

Like sticking duct tape on the Titanic

Well certainly less garish/ostentatious

Beckham sucks too

Ramón Laureano, LF Fernando Tatis Jr., 2B Miguel Andujar, DH Manny Machado, 3B Xander Bogaerts, SS Ty France, 1B Nick Castellanos, RF Freddy Fermin, C Bryce Johnson, CF Merrill and Cronenworth out against LHP

They have listened to Suns and Spartans fans a whole heckuva lot more than Jerry and Eddie ever listened to Sox fans. JR would probably rather die than give in to something the fans want more than he does.

Shock…more bad faith negotiations due to animosity towards the players’ union/agents like Boras in general.

You can’t or shouldn’t compare guys like Bonds or Thomas right out of ncaa’s with someone playing pro baseball in Japan their entire adult life. that said, Ichiro was credited with his npb numbers with HoF voting, Ohtani/Yamamoto and Mune will be as well

Already negotiating (good sign) but 98% chance it goes into ST.

But has the highest line drive percentage...just not elevating the ball. Machado (finally hot) Tatis Merrill Cronenworth (unplayable) and Castellanos ... basically hot garbage, bullpen bailing them out in a lot of close games. Last year, Fernando settled into his new normal 825-875 ops range. Just not the 959 blistering pace he started his career out with. Top 10-25 player due to his RF fielding and arm/assist totals. He and Witt Jr. are both going to normalize statistically at some point...it's inevitable.

Peters has posted subpar exit velocities but shown solid strike zone awareness while making a decent amount of contact. He’s capable of playing anywhere in the outfield and has a couple minor league options remaining. The Sox can keep him in Triple-A without exposing him to waivers so long as they continue carrying him on the 40-man roster. Barring a surprise trade of either player, the White Sox will open 2026 with Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert Jr. as their respective left and center fielder. The out-of-options Everson Pereira, himself an offseason trade pickup from Tampa Bay, probably enters Spring Training as the favorite in right field. Chicago has journeyman speedster Derek Hill penciled in for a bench role, while utilityman Brooks Baldwin could factor into either corner spot. It’s one of the weakest outfield groups in MLB and would be especially barren if the Sox finally line up a Robert trade by next summer’s deadline.

Chicago White Sox (Last: 30)Weakness: Outfield As a group, Chicago’s outfielders rank 28th in the league in fWAR (-0.3), with the fifth-lowest slugging percentage (.341). None of the team's three most often-used outfielders—Andrew Benintendi, Luisangel Acuña and Tristan Peters—has been close to league average offensively. The trio has combined for five extra-base hits, and while Benintendi has four of them, he’s also been one of the game’s worst defenders over the last four years. Manager: CWill Venable deserves a lot of credit for the culture he’s established and his rapport with the young players. His in-game decisions, however, have left a lot to be desired this season. There’s very little consistency in the White Sox lineup, which seems more focused on handedness than actual statistics often, and his management of the bullpen has frequently raised questions. Other things like seemingly not knowing the pitcher’s spot was coming up in a winnable game against the Athletics, simply haven’t helped the White Sox win more games this season. I’m not all the way out on Venable yet, and I think he has some good qualities, but I expected more from a manager who was supposedly in tune with the analytics and well-respected around the league at the time of his hire. Venable is just a second-year manager, so he’ll be learning how to do his job alongside his young core, and mistakes are bound to happen. We’ll see if more success and better processes come with more experience.

"Getz got rotten lemons, and he crafted a lemonade-cider invention that is going to redefine the industry." WestEddy April 30th, 2026 Signature worthy. But shouldn't lemonade take slightly less than 2 3/4th's years to stir up? With Robert Burger and Crochet to trade?

Just like third place and three games under .500 May 1st now feels like Mardi Gras compared to 2022-2025.

Even the Pirates' ownership these days would at least be having some preliminary discussions to flesh out a potential range of agreement if Mune were there (also pursued Okamoto). (fwiw Skenes feels like a real long shot to extend until they demonstrate they can make the postseason first.)

Still, they need to shoot for better than 100 or essentially league average ceilings from 2B or LF.

Any evidence of attendance spikes from Wisconsin?

You'll next have to convince everyone the Sox are actually good enough to compete and might even have a realistic shot in the Central. But that's likely an argument for down the line. Sweeping the Angels at home does not a season make. Even the pessimists would expect 2/3 at home against the LAA. Beating up Soriano was the real surprise.

Long live Ricketts family members!!!
